Vastra, with Jenny and Strax, investigated Edmund's dead body, and found out a strange optogram in his eye - the Doctor's picture. Jenny was sent to Sweetville to see what's wrong, only to find the Doctor fossil in an odd red liquid. The Doctor instructed Jenny how to heal him, and once it was done, the pair went out to find Clara. They found her as a puppet inside a glass dome. After Clara was recovered, the Doctor, Jenny and Clara were caught by mrs Gillyflower, the project's manager. They were soon saved by Vastra and Strax.
